\n<\/a><\/strong>\u201cWhether you are an expat\u2019s wife or you came here because you fell in love or you just moved to a foreign country looking for new opportunities, whatever the reason, you may find yourself without a job. Well, I\u2019ve been there. Without a job I lost my professional identity and I didn\u2019t like this feeling at all\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/strong>\u201cOne of the most popular discussions on Insego is finding out the\u00a0cultural faux pas in The Netherlands. Faux pas is a French term which literally means \u201cmisstep\u201d. But for most of us, it means defiance from accepted customs and traditions. Faux pas varies from different cultures. Some behavior might be acknowledged in one culture while it is a no-no for another.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/strong>\u201cTransferring to another country whether for work, personal expedition or reasons of the heart can be tough and challenging. Aside from difficulty in adjusting to the new environment and culture, we also struggle with homesickness, making new friends and for some, finding a job and raising kids. Being an expat is a tough call. See what your fellow expats struggle with and may their experiences act as your inspiration and encouragement that you are not alone. You share the same experiences with many other expats in the world, so don\u2019t be totally dismayed\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n
